This project appears abandoned. Unless word is heard from the developer after this post I don’t think you should consider purchasing this software as it is incomplete and highly buggy to have such an egregious price of $30.
This looked very promising and I would really like to see development continue. Hopefully this gets some form of response so we know what the state of the project is. I understand life happens, but radio silence is not the way to handle it.
The developer does have a web app that appears to have some similar functionality to this paid app some people may find useful. There are no links on their site to it and I had to crawl to find it.
Supported this early on so I got what I got for pretty cheap but it's been in limbo for a long time now and so I don't think it's rude to recommend another project that seems slightly less in limbo but for 1/4th-1/2 the price called Smack Studio. This app is more PICO-like while Smack Studio is just a pixel editor with some neat rigging and rotation features. In my own bored journey I've moved past both apps to slicing SDFs in plugins like Mudbun or Clayxels. That way you can just render a 3D object and assign 2D sprites to points in your 3D graph and render them Daggerfall or Mario Kart style depending on the angle you're looking at them. Theoretically you could do way more angles than either of these programs support out of the box. We're talking about buying abandonware here cause it has its usefulness (try it on steam, return it if you don't like it). Smack Studio isn't abandonware and Mudbun and Clayxels are professional rendering plugins.
hi. is the program dead? will there ever be an update? I bought the game in steam, I follow the news here... the program seems interesting to me, but it bothers me that nothing happens to it... everything is fine?
Hi, I am reaallyyy new in game development and love sprite stacking. But I'm not sure if this app is what I'm looking for... Is there any place where I can download a demo or something? or even a discord where I can talk to other people who use this tool? (I don't wanna buy without making sure that's what I am looking for... I live in Brazil so $24 USD is equivalent to $100 for Brazilian cash (R$118,02 actually))

Where is this Smack Studio app? I cant in it here on itch or anywhere else.
Smack Studio - A sandbox fighting game
It appears to also be a game, but you can use it similar to this program, I guess.

Pretty sure it's dead

the program has not shown signs of life for a very long time ... I do not recommend buying it.
